The Testament of Jessie Lamb by Jane Rogers (review copy) - Women are dying in their millions. Some blame scientists, some see the hand of God.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (review copy) - In 1886 a mysterious travelling circus becomes an international sensation. Open only at night, constructed entirely in black and white, the Cirque des Rêves delights all who wander its circular paths and warm themselves at its bonfire. There are contortionists, performing cats, carousels and illusionists – all the trappings of an ordinary circus. But this is no conventional spectacle. Some tents contain clouds, some ice. The circus seems almost to cast a spell over its aficionados, who dress in red and call themselves the rêveurs – the dreamers. And who is the sinister man in the grey suit who watches over it all? Behind the scenes a dangerous game is being played by two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who, at the behest of their masters, are forced to test the very limits of the imagination – and of love... Official synopsis from Vintage Books.
Storm by Brigid Kemmerer - Ever since her ex-boyfriend spread lies about her, Becca Chandler is suddenly getting all the guys - the ones she doesn't want. Then she saves Chris Merrick from a beating in the school parking lot. Chris is different. Way different: he can control water - just like his brothers can control fire, wind, and earth. They're powerful. Dangerous. Marked for death. 
Thank you so much, Jo, for inviting me to guest post on Once Upon a Bookcase!
Geekhood: Close Encounters of the Girl Kind gave me the chance to look back over my adolescence and work out what it was that made me a Geek. What I wasn’t expecting was to find that my adulthood Geeky obsessions are even nerdier than ever. Some of my fixations weren’t around when I was hacking my way through puberty. But Archie, the book’s main character, is a 21st Century Geek, so I’m delighted to say he’s embraced most of them. What follows are my own personal obsessions, done in one of those Top Ten lists that are pretty Geeky in themselves.
Geekhood by Andy Robb (ARC) - If you haven't worked it out yet, girls don't do this. They don't come to the Hovel. They don't like goblins and dragons. They don't paint miniatures. They don't play role playing games or re-enact fictional battles. And they don't talk to Geeks like me - especially if they're pretty. And this girl is pretty.

One could make an intellectual link between the two, sure, but it still might bug a person interested in hearing how fast it took for the ambulance to get there. 
Goddess Girls: Athena the Brain by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams (review copy) - Athena has always been above average. She's never quite fit in at Triton Junior High, but who would've guessed that Athena is actually a goddess? Principal Zeus's daughter, to be exact. When she's summoned to Mount Olympus Academy, Athena thinks she might actually fit in for the first time in her life. But in some ways, school on Mount Olympus is not that different from down on Earth, and Athena is going to have to deal with the baddest mean girl in history -- Medusa! Authors Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams put a modern spin on classic myths with the Goddess Girls series. Follow the ins and outs of divine social life at Mount Olympus Academy, where the most privileged godboys and goddessgirls in the Greek pantheon hone their mythical skills. From Amazon UK
Insurgent by Veronica Roth (review copy) - WARNING! I cannot review this book without spoiling the others in the series. Read no further if you're planning on reading this series and don't want it spoiled for you.As part of Team Candor UK's attempt to wow you with reviews of Insurgent by Veronica Roth and other cool posts, today I'm going to talk to you about my thoughts on the dystopian society in the series. Don't worry; so as not to spoil things for anyone, I'm going to discuss it without thinking of Insurgent (I'm not far into the book as I write this, only a few chapters, so no problem there), and without talking about the events of Divergent. Just the society in general will be discussed.A dystopia is the idea of a society in a repressive and controlled state, often under the guise of being utopian... People are alienated and individualism is restricted by the government.
